Text mismatch[edit]
For some really odd reason, the text has been uploaded 7 pages ahead of where it needs to be (i.e., what's on page 12 really needs to be on page 5). I'm not sure why the bot uploaded it like this, as it has uploaded text from every other djvu pefectly.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 15:50, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
- I've since stopped uploading the text so as not to mess anything up more than it already is.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 15:51, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I figured out what the problem was. I wasn't using the most current version of the DJVU. I'm reuploading the entire thing.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 15:55, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
- Ack!!! Because of the Google images at the front, I was asked to trim and reload (which I am now doing for many of the images). I used DjVuLibre to trim the fat, and reloaded, and now your saying that the image and text is mismatched. I will investigate how wide a problem I am creating, or what i am doing wrong. :-( -- billinghurst (talk) 21:36, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
- No no no. It wasn't on your end, it was mine. :) What happened is I downloaded the file from Archive.org instead of from Commons. So when I began extracting the text, I was doing it from the original and not the trimmed version (which is what was being used on WS). What I should have done originally was download the image from Commons instead of IA. I will now download all the images from Commons since they are trimmed a bit in order to avoid further mismatch.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 22:35, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
- Phew! My little heart can stop a-pounding. :-) I will continue my reloading of the trimmed versions, though it will take a while with my slower upload. -- billinghurst (talk) 22:48, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
